We replicated the superficial layer involvement in working memory manipulation but found no evidence for deep layer-specific activation during motor response. Instead, we observed activation across both layers.

We used a fully automated, pre-registered analysis pipeline, that included automatic ROI definition by combining anatomical information (HCP MMP 1.0 atlas) with functional activation.
